William Hewett

William Hewett of Shrewton had his house licensed as a place of Baptist worship in March 1795, with the application signed by Hewett, Thomas Kellow, William Weare, William Blake, John Beast, along with the marks of Guy Coombs, Isaac Dogget, and Thomas Shergold, all inhabitants of Shrewton. Saffery began preaching to this fledgling congregation in 1794. See J. H.
